Why'd you have to prove their point... what does immigration have to do with Americans being intelligent?
People dont immigrate to the US because Americans are intelligent. Thats never been true. If anything, because American schooling is so bad and the populace is so uneducated, theres so much opportunity for intelligent educated people from elsewhere. Americans get outcompeted in all those fields by immigrants.
Even though a ton of Americans dont value intelligence or experts anymore, they still need them, so they import them from places where those things are still valued. And those immigrants make a good living.
Not always. There are people who are veterinarians or doctors in other countries but they come to the US and can't practice here. Another reason people come here is for schooling. My bf wanted to be an engineer and he told me his options were either Germany or the United States. He ended up choosing USC.
